Biden holds wide lead in South Carolina: Poll

Published November 18, 2019 3:53pm ET



Joe Biden holds a commanding lead in South Carolina a bit over three months out from its Feb. 29 Democratic primary, according to a new poll.

The former vice president, 76, whose campaign has been open about the prospect it could get trounced in the Iowa caucuses on Feb. 3 and New Hampshire primary on Feb. 11, leads the 2020 Democratic primary field by 20 percentage points, with 33% support from likely voters, a new Quinnipiac University survey found. His closest rivals are Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, 70, and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, 78, who have 13% and 11% of the vote respectively. Yet 18% of respondents remain undecided about their top choice for the presidential nomination.
